Lash Lift & Tint — FAQ
-
A lash lift is a service that reshapes your natural lashes into a soft, lasting curl. The nourishing “keratin” step conditions; the lifting/setting lotions create the curl.
-
Typically 6–8 weeks, depending on your lash growth cycle and at-home care.
-
When performed by a trained stylist and aftercare is followed, a lift is safe for healthy lashes. If you have eye sensitivities or are using a growth serum, ask about a patch test.
-
Yes—after 24 hours. Avoid waterproof mascara and use an oil-free remover.

Arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes; avoid waterproof mascara for 48–72 hours before; remove contacts; don’t curl lashes that day.
